Plantswagshop Monstera Dubia

It has the instinct to climb, but it requires a physical support structure like a moss pole or bark slab to achieve its signature shingle look. Without a vertical surface to press its leaves against, the plant will struggle to develop its mature, fenestrated foliage.

Likely not. The Monstera 'Dubia' only develops its larger, split leaves as it matures and climbs higher. You will receive a younger specimen, which is part of the fun—you get to watch it transform as it grows up your support board.

No, the Monstera 'Dubia' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a room or on a shelf that is inaccessible to curious animals.

Plan to water every 7 to 10 days, but always check the soil first. If the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, it is time for a drink; if it still feels damp, wait a few more days to avoid root rot.

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south-facing window is ideal, as direct sun can scorch the leaves while too little light will stunt its growth.

We classify this as an intermediate plant. While it isn't overly fussy, it does require specific care regarding humidity and support structures to look its best, so it is better suited for someone who has successfully kept a few easier tropical plants alive.
